The Grand (R)-**
Writers: Zak Penn and Matt Bierman
Director: Zak Penn
Starring: Woody Harrelson, Cheryl Hines, Richard Kind, Ray Romano
The Grand is to poker what 'Best in Show' was to dog shows but the laughs don't come as fast. A poker tournament brings an all star cast together but they are wasted. Also the fake commentators have not one funny line and are nowhere as funny as Fred Willard was in show. Dennis Farina and Michael McKean have the best and funniest material and I liked Ray Romano in a smaller role. I guess Poker on screen in a movie is not interesting enough to make fun of. This movie just falls flat and has more misses than hits. 'The Grand' is now on DVD.
